Plans for the
Year
Welcome to what is shaping up to be an
excellent new year for our chapter. First a couple of
notes-- in the interest of improving the quality (and maybe
quantity) of the food and this year’s PDMs, the price has
been raised to $15. Still quite a bargain for everything you
receive. Second, it looks like we will be having two plant
tours this year- the first at BG Products and the second at
Wild West World. There will be a $10 charge for each of
these.
Now is the time to be thinking about
attending the APICS International Conference in Orlando,
Oct. 29-31. If you have never gone, this is a tremendous
opportunity to receive world-class information on the latest
trends and developments in our field. More information can
be found on national’s web site www.apics.org. Do try and
make it, I am confident you won’t regret it, not just for
the education, but also for the opportunity to network with
people from all over the world. It really is a great
experience.
As I said at the onset, we have a great year
in store for you. The board has been working hard and we
will have interesting and informative speakers at the PDM.
Mike Ford will be doing another seminar and I already
mentioned the two plant tours. So keep an eye on our website
www.apics-wichita.com
and we look forward to seeing you at the PDMs.
Have a great year!
